      I mean some stuff is still running windows 98. What programs are you really needing to run?

          God I love people that pretend switching to Linux is for everyone. They’re the same dipshits that install Mint on their grandmothers machine without asking, then get defensive when she takes issue with it.

          I think almost every Microsoft product has a FOSS alternative (that works in windows usually too) if you want to get away from them. GamePass/The Xbox app/Windows store doesn’t, but that’s almost it. If there isn’t an alternative, it’s not unlikely that it’ll work through WINE. What software specifically are you looking for?

            Microsoft office and games with anticheat are two big categories.

      Which one? apache2? mysql? php-fpm? python? ftp? smb? nodejs?

      Not sure about you, but I’m using those to make my living.
